ANALYSIS/OPINION
Bradley Beal is having a great season for the Washington Wizards, which has led teammates, fans and local media to lobby for his first All-Star berth.
But to the chagrin of his supporters, Beal ranked just ninth among Eastern Conference guards when the first round of fan voting was released last week. The indignity was amplified by Dwyane Wade (a shell of his former self) and Isiah Thomas (who had played one game at the time) being ahead of Beal.
Wade and Thomas clearly have no business in the sixth and seventh positions, respectively, based on performance.
